Hobby Boss 83809 1/35 Renault R35 Detailed Modellers Kit  [HB-83809]

Hobby Boss 1/35 Renault R35 Background and Model

The Renault R35 functioned as a French light infantry tank in WWII, prioritising armor protection to support ground troops. Its performance traded speed and long-range firepower for survivability, and an upgraded R40 version later mounted a stronger gun. By June 1940 the R35 was France's top-produced tank, and captured vehicles saw service with various other nations.
